I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Waters (Milford, MA) in Sep 2019
Interview
In early August, after phone screen with recruiter, I interviewed via phone conference with hiring manager. He informed me the process would be wrapped up in approximately 6 weeks. I interviewed onsite with 5 different stakeholders in mid-September. The week following, I had 3 additional interviews with stakeholders via video-conference.
Overall, a great experience. The hiring team effectively set expectations up front and followed through with communication all along the way.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would I handle being the new kid on the block with a team of tenured employees?
The interview process varies based on role. Usually there is an initial HR interview. The candidates who successfully progress then attend interview(s) with the specific function. This is often a technical interview followed by an interview with the manager.
Interview process is lengthy and drawn out. Managed by talent acquisition and hiring manage. Many times hiring is paused due to lack of approvals from senior leadership. The hiring process here takes forever.
Good process and communication from the hiring team. Thoughtful interviewers and streamlined process without a lot of unnecessary meetings. Understood where I was in the process and how I was doing every step of the way. Put best foot forward on offer....cared about me joining.
